On 23 June 2023 D-​ITET's Master's Graduation Ceremony took place in ETH's Scherrer auditorium. More than 150 graduates of the Master's programmes in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EEIT), Biomedical Engineering (BME), Energy Science and Technology (EST), and Quantum Engineering (QE) attended the celebration together with their families and friends. Congratulations and all the best for the future!

Preparations for this year's RoboCup, which will take place in Bordeaux, France, are in full swing. This international robot soccer tournament brings together student teams from different countries to compete in 7-on-7 matches. In addition to the competition, RoboCup also serves as a robotics conference.

We are thrilled to announce that SAFARI Research Group, lead by Prof. Onur Mutlu, received the Distinguished Artifact Award at ISCA 2023 for their project titled "RowPress: Enhancing Read Disturbance in Modern DRAM Chips."

Optical data communication requires an ever-growing need for faster devices. Scientists of the Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF) have developed the world’s fastest photodetector up to this point. The combination of metamaterials and graphene has led to the record breaking >500 GHz bandwidth. These devices could pave the way for the next generation highest speed photodetectors.

On 14 June 2023, the Swissloop rollout event took place in the event hangar of the Innovation Park Zurich in Dübendorf. ETH Zurich and the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering support the student initiative Swissloop as sponsors and congratulate the project team on the successful presentation of the new prototype "Bertrand Piccard". With their pod "Bertrand Piccard" we wish the team much success for the European Hyperloop Week 2023!

We are delighted to share that David Menzi et al. from Power Electronic Systems Laboratory have been honored with the Best Paper Award.

The team at the Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET (PBL) has achieved remarkable success in the field of autonomous racing, with recent accolades at the prestigious IEEE IWASI workshop after the outstanding performance at the ICRA 2023 F1tenth race. Congratulations!

Florian Schenk, a doctoral student in the research group Chemistry and Materials Design headed by Prof. Maksym Yarema, received the Best Oral Presentation Award for his paper titled "Solution-processed phase-change memory from molecular telluride inks." Congratulations!
